A single-girder gantry crane (with electric hoist) is a steel frame (gantry) that can move on ground tracks like a "gate". It is equipped with a main beam on which an electric hoist that can move back and forth along the main beam is installed as a lifting mechanism.
As the core component of the lifting mechanism, the electric hoist is located below the main beam and moves along the main beam. Weihua Group can provide various types of electric hoists, including CD1 type wire rope electric hoist, MD type wire rope electric hoist, Low headroom electric hoist, Explosion-proof electric hoist, Electric chain hoist, and European type electric hoist.
Applications of Single-Girder Gantry Cranes with Electric Hoists:
1. Open-air Stockyards/Storage Yards: Single-girder gantry cranes can quickly load, unload, and transport steel, timber, building materials, and cargo containers.
2. External Workshop Areas: Small hoist gantry cranes can be used in conjunction with bridge cranes inside workshops for inter-process transfers.
3. Logistics and Warehousing: Gantry cranes with electric hoists can be used for loading and unloading goods at warehouse entrances or for stacking goods inside large warehouses.
4. Equipment Installation and Maintenance: Used for equipment hoisting and maintenance in fixed locations.
5. Precast Concrete Component Plants: Hoisting and transporting concrete components.
1. Advantages of the gantry crane structure: It eliminates the need for a fixed factory building, allowing operation via ground tracks under open-air or simple sheds, significantly expanding the working area and making it ideal for handling large quantities of stacked materials.
2. Economy of the single-girder + electric hoist combination: Compared to double-girder gantry cranes, it offers lower procurement, installation, and operation/maintenance costs. It is the most cost-effective choice for low to medium working frequency and lifting capacities (commonly 3 to 20 tons).
3. High flexibility: Single-girder gantry crane with electric hoist equipped with a wireless remote control, the operator can follow the goods on the ground, providing excellent visibility and precise positioning, allowing a single person to complete complex lifting operations.
4. Comprehensive functionality: It possesses three-dimensional spatial movement capabilities (trolley forward/backward, trolley left/right, hoist up/down), meeting most handling and positioning needs.
